How to get all message names

[Claudi Cornaz]

Hi All,

Thanks for answering.

Unfortunatly there apparently isn't a easy consistent way. Pitty. I need it for stackAlly and
it looks to get the messageNames it depends on how the version of livecode
uses it for the dictionaire, which ofcourse might change with each release. 
So no relaible stabble  way to get the message names. Most unfotunate

Björnke, apparently you can get it out of the dictionaire (the sglite db file on disk)
Could you share/mail me how to do that? Would be great.

Thanks all and best wishes,
   Claudi
